I am sure that many other readers and hard working taxpayers are irked by the sponsored subsidized Internet project offered in the Toronto Community Housing Corp. (TCHC) computer Internet “project.” The offer of Internet service should really be a reason to get these people into their free community library where the computer is free, and so is the entire newspaper.

If these people have smart phones, data plans, TV, cable, and have literacy or financial problems, and are using a food bank, why do we subsidize computers and Internet use? What scrutiny is applied to eligibility? What about literacy, budgeting, financial literacy, nutrition?

Kids get free computer use at school. What about seniors and disabled persons who can’t get out? Who helps them? Do they get subsidized computers and Internet use?

People need nutrition, financial literacy, basic literacy, job skills, not free Internet and computers. They can go to the library. It’s free. This project needs to get it’s priorities straight.
